Use scr.im to get less spam

October 4, 2009 – 11:38 AM

Leaving your email as plain text in forums, on Twitter or on classified sites makes you an easy spam target: spam robots and email harvesters constantly browse these sites to collect new victim emails.

Don’t share your email on public sites. Instead, use our free service that will convert your email address ([email protected]) into a safe and short URL (for instance http://scr.im/joe). People willing to email you will go to this URL that will reveal your email address, after a simple test that automated scripts and bots cannot pass.
